Red Cars & Red Shoes - My favorite photos!


Today was the big day folks! Thanks to Charlie at Southern Classic here in Wake Forest. He let us in for the first stop in my latest Senior Portrait. Please try to tell me these red shoes are not the greatest you've ever seen - I won't believe you - and you'd think Charlie had brought in these red cars just for us... These are my favorites - Enjoy!

Interesting Projects

This year has opened some unusual doors for my shooting pleasure. I love to shoot over at the Mordecai House www.raleigh-nc.org/mordecai - the chapel on these grounds is perfect for small and intimate gatherings. I've shot weddings here and loved every moment. However, this time I got to shoot the grounds and some of the articles inside to update some of their promotional images. If you want the whole story with all of the details then go take the official tour - but be sure to check out the gift shop and look for some new postcards, photographed by yours truly!

This is the famous Mordecai House.

And, here is the chapel...


The birthplace of Andrew Johnson.



You can see that Ellen Mordecai was a talented seamstress...

Shooting second is fun!

This year I have had more fun than one should, shooting as the assistant for some of my very talented photographer friends. Somehow your role on the wedding day makes you see the whole event differently - I guess that's sort of the point.

Anyway a few weeks ago, a couple of lovebirds got hitched in Charlotte. I was shooting with Amanda Pryde and "True Love" was oozing out of every pore. You couldn't help but smile and share in the excitement of these two families. So, I was in charge of watching the groom, and I love the men's details just as much as the ladies!


And, this is my first Black and White bouquet - I didn't even know you could do that!


Rarely, do you get the score of catching another person's flash... I just love it when my timing gets down to business - all on it's own.


Of course the cake was Yummy - You know how I love cake!


The band was a rockin good time! But that drummer was eye-balling me...
